  • Re: Bill C-49 
Madam Speaker, my question is quite simple. The bill we are looking at appears to continue the Liberal trend. In other words, it claims to promote renewable energy, but, in reality, it makes no changes to the status quo and continues to encourage the development of the oil industry. We think that the government needs to start gradually reducing the size of that industry. My question is going to focus on two aspects. First, does the member think we need to start taking action to slow the effects of climate change? Second, during the study of this bill, is my colleague ready to start talking seriously about gradually, sensibly and intelligently reducing the size of the oil industry? Of course, the transition to renewable energy will include support for those who work in the oil industry.
